I understand that Sephardim have the custom of reading the Book of Job on Tisha B'Av. Is there any historic discussion among Ashkenazi rabbis regarding why the practice was not adopted by them?

    Maybe for the same reason they don't read the book of Tzefanya either. – Double AA Oct 30 '14 at 21:28
